"Hi Kookie." I hear as I slowly wake up in my sleeping bag. "Jennie." I instantly sit up, of course I know it's her, I'd recognize her voice anywhere. "I haven't talked to you in a while, I miss you." I hear her pout. I instantly start getting up, grabbing my backpack with my bathroom essentials. I clean my eyes with my fingers. "I miss you too.." I hear him, making my blood boil a bit. "Let's just forget this never happened, okay?" She says, what is she saying?

"About me being in lo-", "Yes, let's just forget about it and you can be my best friend again." I slip on my sandals and before he can answer I step out of the tent, I pat his shoulder to give him a sign that I'm here. I walk over and grab Jennie's hand and lead her to the bathroom. "Good morning Taehyung." She says smiling, as if I didn't just hear her talk to Jungkook. "It's cool you want to be that kids friend again." I say, her face drops.

"It's a tent, it's not sound proof." I add. "I've just seen how miserable he's been without me, I just assumed that being his friend again would make him happy." She explains. But from what I've seen, it seems to me that Jungkook has forgotten all about Jennie. He's so distracted by that girl, that he possibly hasn't put much thought about Jennie.

I guess that's a good thing, being that he won't be around Jennie as much.. but I start to wonder if she's noticed it too. The kid is always so close to the blonde and he seems happy. Shoot, he even sang to her I front of our whole graduating class. That takes guts to do, I guess not too much guts if you really care about the person. Which makes me believe that, that's how he feels about his so called best friend.

He likes her and something is changing Jennie because she wants everything to be about her. Wow, I should be a psychologist, since I'm so good at figuring people out. That explains the unexpected greeting to him, she wants to make sure that he doesn't change his mind about her. I can see and observe that Jennie cares about Jungkook, but she doesn't like him in the way she likes me, but she doesn't want him to like anyone else but her. Or I'm in denial and she actually feels something else for the kid.

I don't know, I guess I can really read people, well thanks to how great I am as an actor. "I don't know Jennie, baby. I'd like to think he's fine." I feel her mad gaze. "You're wrong, you don't know Jungkook." She answers. "And you do? He, so called, loved you for how long? And you didn't notice, I'd say you don't really know him at all." I say as we make it to the bathroom.

I turn and look at her, she had stopped in her tracks, why does she look so shocked? It's the truth, if she knows him so well she should have realized that he had some sort of feelings. "You're right." She whispers. "It's not about being right." I answer. It kind of is, honestly. "We can talk about this after, Okay?" I say to her. "Okay." She grins.

When he disappears into the boys bathroom I roll my eyes and head into the girls bathroom. He doesn't know anything, I'll just let him think he is right. The reason I never knew Jungkook was "in love" with me, is because he wasn't being obvious like Taehyung was when we first met. That's why I portrayed him as my brother figure and nothing more. And plus, like I've said before, it would be weird if I were to date him. I'd never see myself feeling any sort of affection for him in that way.

Okay, maybe I never said it like that, but I'm saying it now. When I step into the girls bathroom, there's a line of girls waiting for the bathroom. Gosh, people really have to take their morning poop right now? Kind of a bad idea when everyone is in here. I decide to clean my face first, I wash my hands before touching my skin. When I look up, almost every girl is looking at me. I smile. "Unnie, how do you always look so beautiful?" A girl asks and everyone nods eagerly in agreement.

"Please tell us your secret so that we can be pretty like you." Another girl pleads. I smile even bigger. I set my bag on my sink. I pull out the first product for the first part of my routine and start cleaning my face like normal. All eyes are on me, every time I looked up everyone was staring at me. I'd smile and they'd all smile back. When I was done with my face I brush my teeth and hair, after I realize that I don't have to use the bathroom.

I grab my bag and walk out, I hear a lot of whispering. "Wow, it takes you that long to clean your face?" He asks. I realize that he's shirtless, my face instantly heats up. His body.. is.. perfect. "There were a lot of girls." I say simply. "Oh, yes.. I forget that it takes girls longer to do things." I just grin, unable to keep my eyes off of his chest. "I was thinking that we could go to the beach. A lot of other people are going." He suggests.

I was so distracted by his body, I didn't even notice he was already wearing his swim trunks. "So, yes?" He asks, chuckling a bit. I nod, "Okay, let me just walk over to my tent to get my things for the beach." When we make it to my tent I see Jungkook and the blonde walking away together. I shake everything off and head into my tent to grab my things. The teachers whistle scares me half to death. "Breakfast will be served in an hour." Mr. Le announces.

Finally Taehyung and I make it out to the beach and we drop our towels in the sand before I jump on his back and he runs into the water. We're already getting stares, I see my friend Areum and she waves to me and I'm too distracted by holding onto Taehyung to wave back. I hold on tight to him as he jumps into the water. I gasp as the water splashes on me. He sets me down and I cling to him, he laughs.

"It's cold!!" I screech. He kisses my head and doesn't even answer me, I look at him and he grins.

**

I walk over to Lalisa's tent. To my surprise she's not there, before I can walk away I see her coming from the girls bathroom. I stuff my hands into the pockets of my jeans. I keep my eyes on her as she walks over to the tent. "Morning." She says, not even a good morning, was it not good? I'm over thinking this. "Good morning." I reply. She says nothing more as she enters the tent. Say something you fool. "I was wondering if you'd like to join me on a hike?" I ask, crossing my fingers in my pockets, hoping that she'll say yes.

She exits her tent, pulling her hair into a ponytail. I like her hair like that, honestly. "I don't see why not." She answers simply. She closes the tent shut and looks at me. I grin and we walk together to a trail. It's quiet for a while, and I'm okay with it.. because I'm here with her. "Jungkook, I think we have to stay friends. Not that I'm saying you wanted something more, but I cherish our friendship and I don't want that to be ruined by one little event." She says out of no where.

I look at her but she's looking forward as we walk. I start to wonder if she ever liked me, possibly not. Cause if she did, she would have told me that she does.. right? But she clearly just said the opposite. "That's okay, I agree with you." I force myself to say. All night I had been trying to make up my mind about what I want, everything that has been said right now is stirring my brain into confusion again.

"I just feel that, I know you love Jennie.. and I don't want to make you confused about something that's so obvious." She explains. "So are you telling me this because it means you don't like me?" I ask out of no where. I stare at her, waiting, but she just looks forward. "Hey! Jungkook and Lalisa."

I look forward and it's Jimin and Chaeyoung. I let out a low breath, "Hey, haven't seen you guys since Thursday." I say, forcing a smile. "We've been hearing a lot of rumors about you guys." Chaeyoung says. "Well, they should stop." Lalisa speaks up. I try not to make a face, and it seems that Jimin is observing me a lot. Will he notice? "Chae, walk with me." Lalisa slips over to Chaeyoung and links arms with her. They walk ahead of us and Jimin stays staring at me.

"What happened? It's written all over you guys." I wait until the girls are at a good distance. "I kissed Lalisa last night." Yup, couldn't keep it in. Jimin smiles and we slowly follow the girls. "Stop looking at me like that." I blush. "My boy, I knew you liked her. How was it?" He asks. I rub the back of my neck unable to stop smiling. "I still get this weird feeling in my stomach when I think about it." I explain to him. "You like her." He whispers.

"Gosh Jimin, I don't know." I slightly shake my head looking down at the gravel underneath my feet. "See, you do." He chuckles, I look at him instantly. "Look, Jimin... I seriously don't know." He stares at me. I then go off to talk about the bench situation and he's smiling the whole time. "Stop." I whisper when he begins to tease me, but then again.. when doesn't he tease me?

"Okay, So at the bench, she wanted to kiss you.. and you wanted to kiss her." He tries to put pieces together to this puzzle that has become my brain. "That's the thing, I really don't know if she wanted to.", "What was her body language like?" He asks. "Well, She was frozen. She didn't do much movement." I explain to him. "So it was unexpected because when she grabbed your face, you were already close to her." I nod. "And.. how was her face?" She asks.

My stomach turns, "Her cheeks were super pink." I find myself smiling. "Okay, Big question.. how did you react?" He questions me. "I-I reacted n-naturally." Why am I stuttering? "Like how?" He has the biggest mochi smile on his face. "Like when I was looking away she had made me blush, so I was still blushing... and my smile wasn't so intense but I was still smiling and I couldn't stop looking at her lips." I explain, "And when she pulled away?" I think for a while.. I was disappointed. "I don't know what I felt." I lie.

"And explain when you kissed her, cause you're the one who kissed her first, right?" He asks. I nod quickly. "Okay, well tell me the pudding." He says. I raise an eyebrow, "Pudding?" I ask. "Just tell me." He whines. "Well, after the bench incident she was distant and I was the one that had to go and walk over to her at the bonfire circle." He nods slowly. "And when the teachers had all of us go to our tents I waited till everyone was gone to talk to her." I think for a while.

"I held her wrist because she was going to leave.. and I started to ask her about the incident and instead she answered with a question.", "What'd she ask?", "If I wanted to kiss her." That smile on his face again. "And did you answer?", "Well.. no. I told she never answers my questions and why should I answer hers.. then she asked me again and I went for it.", "Wow Jungkook, I give you props." He nods, smiling. "And she kissed you back?" He asks, my face heats up as I slowly nod.

"But after she was really quiet and I asked if it was because she was shy, and it was like I triggered something. She said she was confused.", "I mean, I understand her Jungkook. You've been confusing lately." I look at him confused. "How am I confusing?", "She's your best friend, you tell her everything. Including your feelings for Jennie, which makes it obvious that you're not into Lalisa. And then you go off and kiss her when she knows you love Jennie." I let out a breath.

"That's exactly what she said, just before you saw us, she told me we should just be friends, since she knows I love Jennie.", "Then why do you seem so confused about it, if it's true?" He asks. I look forward to see Chaeyoung and Lalisa making flower crowns. "I don't know." I whisper, "Yes, you do." He rebuttals. Do I?

**

I hook my arm on her, "What's going on? You two seem so awkward." She whispers to me. "Walk farther away with me." I whisper back. When we're far enough I lean into her, "Jungkook kissed me last night." I spit. "Oh my gosh, really? This must be great for you, since you're crushing on him and all." She smiles. "It was great... but I couldn't get the fact that he's in love with Jennie, out of my head." She slightly nods in agreement.

"I understand." I decide not to talk about the bench incident. "I even told him last night that I was confused and that I think he needs time to figure out what he wants.", "Thats good that you said that, he needs to know how you feel." I nod, "And just before we met you guys on the trail, I told him that we should just be friends since I already know that he's in love with Jennie." Her jaw drops, I slightly nod. "You have guts." I chuckle.

"He had also asked me if the reason why I told him that, is because I don't like him.", "And what'd you say?" She asks. "You guys came before I could answer, which I don't think I could." I confess. "Don't stress it, that's his problem for not making up his mind. Don't let that get you worked up, this trip is to relax.. so just relax." She smiles, making me smile. "Look at these pretty flowers, we should make flower crowns." She suggests. "I don't know how." I confess.

"Oh it's easy, I'll teach you!" She exclaims. I smile and she begins to teach me how to make make the crown, it's really cute actually. "I'm making mine for Jimin, he'll look so cute." She exclaims. I smile and continue to make mine, should I make it for him? It would be weird if Chaeyoung gives hers to Jimin and Jungkook doesn't have one, I'll look like I'm butt hurt. And if I make him one.. well.. that can go two ways. I look like I like him or I just look like I'm his friend again.

Eh, I'll make him one so I don't look butt hurt. Chaeyoung uses pink flowers and I use white, since I think it would look nice with Jungkook's brown hair. "Wow, Lalisa, your crown is so pretty!", I look down on it, "Really?" I ask. I start to chuckle. "Too pretty for Jungkook?" I ask, damn, I know that ain't true. Jungkook is gorgeous.. did I just admit that? She just laughs. "Look, they're almost here." She smiles wide. "Jimin!" She runs up to him and he smiles wide.

He lets her put it on his head and he kisses her cheek, I see Jungkook staring at them. It's now or never Lalisa. I walk up to him, and when I'm almost close enough he looks at me. I see a light tint of pink grow on his face. I feel Jimin's and Chaeyoung's gaze. I can already guess that Jungkook told him everything. "You shouldn't feel left out." I can't stop myself from smiling. "You deserve to look like a girl too." I tease. He chuckles, "Thanks." He replies.

I tippy toe since Jungkook is taller than Jimin, I feel his hands touch my waist and I try not to put too much thought to it. He's only being nice and giving me support. I set it on his hair, my fingers touching the brown strands, they're extremely soft. I adjust it so it looks nice and I plant my feet on the ground. I lightly push his hands off me and I turn around, starting down the rest of the trail. For a while I'm walking alone until I hear foot steps. "Lalisa." I hear his voice.

I clinch my jaw, he makes me so confused. I slow down and in seconds he's walking right next to me. "Don't walk by yourself." He tells me. "It's just a hiking trail." I tell him. I choose not to look at him, okay.. I'm being really cold. But I just can't let myself fall for him, he's in love with Jennie. Not to forget that time that he literally told Jimin that he doesn't like me what so ever, that made everything clear for me.

The fact that he'd get offensive about the rumors, just yesterday that happened. I really don't get him. The only thing that's making me wonder a lot, it the fact that he kissed me. Why? Why would he do that if he's in love with another girl? Why would he go out of his way to talk about the bench incident and he had the audacity to ask me if I had wanted to kiss him, because believe me.. I would have if I didn't feel so intimidated by Jennie.

I know he'd be thinking of her the whole time, shoot, he probably even thought about her when he kissed me.. who knows? There's no way he can feel for me, and I've made it clear for him that he shouldn't. Because his true feelings are for her. And the more I think about it, how he held my hand, and touched my face.. do people do that when they don't like someone? I sneak a peak at him... he can't like me.. no.. there's no way.
